First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a video call with a pharmacist shortly after hospital discharge can help COPD patients use their inhalers correctly and avoid return trips to the hospital. About 218 adults hospitalized for a COPD flare-up will take part. The goal is to see if this telehealth approach improves medication use and reduces emergency visits.
